Scandic Järva Krog - Room 1016 (superior room)

Another stay at Scandic Järva Krog - actually I stay there almost every week, but I will spare you for all the rooms ;) - only if the rooms are not alike I will review them otherwise I think you will be too bored.

This room is situated on the top floor - the 11th floor is conference floor.

Renovated last year and really an improvement with much lighter and modern furnitures.
A queen size bed with a quilt and 2 pillows - no plugs by the bed which is a bit annoying, you have to use the ones at the desk.

A desk with good lightning if you need to work, however the chair is not that comfortable as it can't be adjusted. Flat screen tv with mainly Swedish channels, but also some foreign as BBC, Discovery and Animal Planet.

In the room you also find a fridge (empty), an ironboard in the closet, hairdryer and coffe/the maker

 The bathroom is ok, but not renovated which is a petty. It's OK but the shower is in need of a change, much better and softer in some of the standard rooms where you also find a rainshower.

A heated towel rail and plenty of towels (extra set in the closet)

A big mirror but no make-up light or a make-up mirror and no necessities.

Rica Hotel Kungsgatan - Room 528

This hotel is situated centrally in Stockholm and in walking distance to the central station, theater, cinema and shopping. The reception is on the 4th floor and from there and up the rooms are.
The downside with this room was that they started aorund 6.30 in the morning to build their booths on the square and that was not noiseless...maybe a room towards the yard was a better choice....

View from the room - 5th floor

It doesn't seem newly renovated, but the room was clean and the standard ok.
Possibilty to make coffee/the or buy something from the mini-bar, a small selection of snacks and drinks. 2 bathrobes and slippers at your disposal.

View from the entrance

A small desk in the corner (you can just see the desk chair on the left side in the picture below) and a flat screen tv with plenty of TV channels to choose from.

  

 A smaller bathroom but with all necessities in case you forgot - no toothbrush/-paste though.

The shower with a heated towel rail, really nice to dry yourself with a dry and warm towel at this time of the year, but not well placed as it was very close to the shower.

Shampoo and conditioner - nice :) - and 2 different showers...have not really figures out yet, why 2?!? If you know the reason, please let me know.

Hotel hallway

The breakfast was good with a selection of hot and cold food, cerals, fresh fruit, bread etc.

If you want to stay in the city center this is a good choice, but a bit too pricey I think compared to other hotel (-standards) downtown.

Scandic Järva Krog - Room 721 (standard room)

Scandic Järva Krog is situated appr. 6.5 km outside Stockholm city center, but very convient and close to my office. The staff at the hotel are the most friendly and helpful I have met during my stays in Stockholm and you're always greeted by name when you're arrive.

The hotel has renovated all the rooms starting from the top floor. The interior in the room is light and "Scandinavian", no heavy furnitures that you have a hard time moving.
The lightning in the room is very good, many lamps and different lightsources.

Free wifi in all the rooms :)

. 

 A small desk with plenty of sockets so you can charge all your gadgets.

All rooms have an ironboard and a hairdryer. Especially the iron possibility in the room I really appreciate.

Your trolley easily fit on the footstole.

.

The beds are equipped with a quilt and the madras is good and have the right soft/hardness.

A smaller bathroom with 2 different showers, a normal and a rainshower. There are plenty of towels if you need as extras can be found in the closet.
